2001 Map of Marion

About this map

The agrarian landscape of southern Idaho unfolds across this survey, marked by the irrigation patterns of Goose Creek and an extensive network of wells. At the turn of the 21st century, the map documents several vanished settlements and former rail locations, such as Churchill (Site) and its corresponding Churchill (Siding Site). These "site" designations reveal a transitioning rural economy where once-active communities like Trout (Site) and Warr (Site) have faded from the map while smaller hubs like Marion and Island persist. The southwestern corner is defined by the steep elevation of the Sawtooth National Forest, including Big Hollow, which contrasts sharply with the flat, canal-fed farmland to the east. Genealogists will find precision in the locations of the Island Cemetery and Marion Cemetery, alongside distinctive geological features like the volcanic uplift of The Knolls.
